Based on the PT Lundin Industry Invest’s X18 Tank Boat platform, the Antasena Tank boat made its debut this past week and was designed specially for Indonesia’s Ministry of Defense to transport troops as well as provide close- and long-range fire support using gun or missile weaponry.

When traveling at high speeds, the Tank Boat utilizes a foil to elevate the hull to reduce drag and increases its top speed to 40 knots, while having a max range of 600-miles. On the artillery side, it has a massive turret on top for heavy fire support and a Cockerill 105mm gun that can fire anti-tank as well as high-explosive shells.
